About John
John Abreu is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with seven years of professional experience. He works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ issues, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
John is a Queer Latinx clinician who focuses on clear, practical work. He listens to what matters most and helps people name the problems that get in the way of day-to-day life. Conversations are direct and grounded in small steps clients can try between meetings.
His approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means sessions often begin by understanding the client’s experience and then testing different ways of thinking or behaving to see what helps. Mindfulness and narrative tools are also used to notice patterns and shift how people tell their own stories.
John pays attention to practical pressures such as money, caregiving, work, and isolation. He helps people address issues like attachment wounds, codependency, communication problems, body image, and gender dysphoria with straightforward strategies. Expect focused sessions that move from understanding to action.
For people new to therapy, he outlines steps and options plainly. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin working on a clear plan.
BHow sessions work
How John uses evidence-based approaches online
John blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what the client says matters. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and manage stress.He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns in thinking and feeling without judgment. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, grounding after stressful moments, and improving attention to daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will help clients choose methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
